00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:41,080
This week on the Computer Chronicles, the conclusion of the Computer Bowl.

2
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,880
We'll go back to Boston for the final two rounds of this 10th annual Computer Bowl to

3
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,480
see whether the traditional techies from the East Coast can catch up with the wild, wild

4
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:55,080
geeks from the West Coast in this contest to see who knows more about the trivia of

5
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,080
computers and the Internet.

6
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,080
Cheers star John Ratzenberger joins me as co-host.

7
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,400
The contestants include Netscape's Mark Andresen, Storm Systems CEO Bill Kraus, Starwave CEO

8
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Mike Slade, Yo-Yo Dine president Seth Godin, Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal,

9
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,200
and Mike Zisman of Lotus.

10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,640
The East is behind, but who will win?

11
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,680
The conclusion of Computer Bowl X, coming up next on the Computer Chronicles.

12
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,560
Computer Chronicles is made possible in part by SoftSource, Inc., publishers of Pro1's

13

19
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 1998 Computer Bowl.

20
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Here's your host for tonight from the PBS TV series, The Computer Chronicles, Mr. Stuart

21
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Chouppet.

22
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,960
All right, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

23
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,520
We're ready to resume Computer Bowl X as we prepare to start round three here of the 1998

24
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Computer Bowl.

25
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Let us update the score right now.

26
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Can we see the scoreboard, please?

27
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,000
What is the score as we start round three?

28
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Can we get the scoreboard up on the screen?

29
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,800
It is West Coast, 80, East Coast, 40.

30
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Plenty of time, plenty of time.

31
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,960
Two rounds to go here.

32
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,880
All right, let me briefly reintroduce our players.

33
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,600
For the visiting West Coast team, we have Mark Andreessen, Senior Vice President of

34
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,240
Product Development at Netscape.

35
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,720
We have Scott Cook, Chairman of Intuit.

36
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,360
We have the Captain of the West Coast Team, Technology Columnist for the New York Times,

37
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,360
Denise Caruso.

38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Bill Krause, President and CEO of Storm Technology.

39
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Mike Slade, Chairman and CEO of StormWave.

40
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,720
That's the West Coast team.

41
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,240
All right, for the East Coast team, the players are Seth Godin, President of Yo-Yo Dine.

42
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,720
Walt Mossberg, Personal Technology Journalist for The Wall Street Journal.

43
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,600
We have Mike Zisman, Captain of the East Coast team.

44
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,680
Mike is Executive Vice President of Strategy at Lotus.

45
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Ken Walsh, President of the Software Publishers Association.

46
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,600
And Robert Ziff, President of Ziff Brothers Investment.

47
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Our judges again, Dan Bricklin and Andy Cunningham.

48
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:40,800
They're doing a stellar job under difficult circumstances.

49
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,600
And of course, our questioner, you know him from Cheers, John Ratzenberger.

50
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,600
Thank you.

51
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Thank you.

52
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,600
Thank you.

53
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,600
All right, John, it's round three.

54
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,600
There's a 40-point spread.

55
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,600
It's going to be a good game.

56
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Let's get going with the first question.

57
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,600
All righty.

58
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,360
MIME, or as they say in French, Meme, is a popular internet protocol used in everything

59
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,320
from email attachments to HTTP headers.

60
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,760
What does the acronym MIME stand for?

61
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Mark, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions.

62
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,480
Anybody knows?

63
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,480
You want to know.

64
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,480
All right, that's correct.

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640
All right, another 10 on the West.

66
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Go, John.

67
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,240
All right, many schools and state education systems are striving to provide computers

68
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,240
for the students.

69
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,320
Of the 50 states, which one has the best, that is, the highest ratio of computers for

70
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,320
students?

71
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,320
All right, Bill Kraus thinks he already knows.

72
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Alaska.

73
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,320
That is not correct.

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,320
No, that was multiple choice.

75
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,320
I know, but he buzzed in.

76
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Oh, he did?

77
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,320
I'm sorry.

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,320
He buzzed in, so we get to ask the question again.

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,320
What a knucklehead.

80
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,320
If you get the chance, if they lost 10, you can get 10.

81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Just wait for me.

82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,320
I can't wait.

83
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Just listen to the question.

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,760
All righty.

85
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Highest ratio of computers for a student is in California, Florida, Minnesota, or Massachusetts?

86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,640
So somebody's got to buzz in.

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,640
Which of those four states, Mike?

88
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,640
Minnesota.

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Sorry?

90
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,640
Minnesota.

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,640
That's wrong.

92
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,640
It's Florida.

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Nobody got that one.

94
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Can you imagine?

95
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,640
You never know.

96
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,640
All right.

97
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:07,160
All right, Electronic Engineering Times recently ran a story about a particularly high-tech

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,400
object and dubbed it the most common man-made object on Earth.

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,680
What is the object?

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,800
Is it a DRAM chip, a microprocessor, a resistor, or a transistor?

101
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,800
Good question, Mark.

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,800
Transistor.

103
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,800
That is not correct.

104
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,800
That's the wrong answer.

105
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,800
Sorry.

106
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:25,800
It is a DRAM chip.

107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,800
More DRAM chips than anything else.

108
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,800
DRAM chips are made of transistors.

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,800
That makes no sense.

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Well...

111
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Come on.

112
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Come on.

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Come on.

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,800
And so are microprocessors, so...

115
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Yeah, but...

116
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,120
All right, we'll leave it to Dan and Andy.

117
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,120
That's a fair point, but I would...

118
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,120
It's an object.

119
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,120
It's an object.

120
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,120
Not the components of the object.

121
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,120
A transistor is an object.

122
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Andy says wrong.

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Let's move along.

124
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Let's move along.

125
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Oh, wait.

126
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,120
We've got a light on over here.

127
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Hey, we're tough.

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,120
For some reason, Robert's light is on, but he had finished the question, Robert.

129
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,120
Yeah.

130
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,120
So can we reset?

131
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,120
All right, John, go.

132
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,120
All right.

133
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

134
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

135
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

136
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

137
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

138
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

139
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

140
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

141
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,120
I thought it stood for Donald.

142
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,120
I thought it stood for Dodgeram myself.

143
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,960
All right, computer companies obviously have a big stake in the future of legislation and

144
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,960
regulatory practices.

145
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,400
Perhaps with that in mind, many of them donate to political campaigns, but which company

146
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,440
gave more soft money to political action committees in 1996?

147
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Was it Microsoft, Gateway 2000, Powersoft, or Pixar?

148
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Who was the big money giver, Mark?

149
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Microsoft.

150
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,160
That is not correct, believe it or not.

151
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,640
Gateway 2000 by a considerable amount, actually.

152
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,640
All right.

153
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,640
All right.

154
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Let's go to our next video question.

155
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,480
Hey, it's 80 points, 40 points.

156
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,480
That's where we started this round.

157
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,480
All right.

158
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,920
Our next celebrity question comes from John Mitchell.

159
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,560
He's president of the business printer division and vice president of Lexmark.

160
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,080
Here is his question.

161
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,920
In the 1970s, Gary Starkweather designed an important new technology that would forever

162
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,320
change the way people use computers.

163
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,120
The code name for this project was Dover.

164
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,440
Starkweather went on to win an Academy Award in 1995 for his technical contributions to

165
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960
computer-generated film animation.

166
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,280
What did Starkweather design?

167
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Was it the laser printer engine, the scanner, the CD-ROM drive, or the fax machine?

168
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,680
All right.

169
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,680
Laser printer engine.

170
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Absolutely.

171
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,680
10 points over here, please.

172
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,680
All right.

173
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,680
All right.

174
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,680
Narrowing the gap here.

175
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Yeah, go ahead, John.

176
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,680
All right.

177
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,680
Apple Computer recently scrapped...

178
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,680
They didn't get their points.

179
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,680
They didn't.

180
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,680
Oh.

181
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,680
They didn't get their points yet, guys.

182
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,680
That was 10 points for these.

183
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,680
Let's keep up.

184
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,680
These East Coast guys are no dummies, you know.

185
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,680
All right.

186
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Go, John.

187
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,680
We'll go next, and I'm sure.

188
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,680
All right.

189
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,680
Apple Computer.

190
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Apple Computer recently scrapped the next-generation operating system for the Macintosh.

191
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,960
What was the code name for that operating system?

192
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,480
Was it Allegro, Copeland, Rhapsody, or Yellowbox?

193
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Seth.

194
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Copeland.

195
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Of course.

196
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,480
That was an easy one.

197
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,480
All right.

198
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Let's make sure we get this scoreboard up to date, please.

199
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,480
60.

200
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,480
60.

201
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,480
60.

202
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,480
60.

203
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,480
60.

204
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,480
60.

205
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,480
60.

206
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,480
60.

207
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,480
We'll remember it.

208
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,480
We'll remember it.

209
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,480
They have the scoreboard up to date.

210
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,480
They've won two points now.

211
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,480
We're trying.

212
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,480
Okay.

213
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,480
All right.

214
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,480
We'll keep on going while they work on the scoreboard.

215
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,480
All right.

216
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,480
All right.

217
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,480
All right.

218
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,480
All right.

219
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,480
All right.

220
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,480
I'll tell you what.

221
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Now that we've got the scoreboard up, guys, it's going to be bonus round time.

222
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,480
Your turn.

223
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,480
These questions are all about the Internet, so how many points would you like to wager

224
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,480
on each question?

225
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,480
10, 20, or 30?

226
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Difficult Internet-based questions.

227
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Even Mark Andreessen may not be able to answer.

228
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,920
I'll do 20.

229
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,920
20.

230
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Whoa.

231
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:36,920
20 points apiece.

232
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:44,280
The Journal of Science recently estimated the total number of pages on the Internet.

233
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,960
How many pages did they come up with?

234
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:54,800
And I will accept an answer within 50 million of the correct answer.

235
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:05,200
Total number of pages worldwide on the Internet within 50 million.

236
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,800
Total number of pages worldwide on the Internet right now is, what do you say, Denise?

237
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,800
350 million.

238
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,440
You guys are darn good.

239
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,440
That's the correct answer.

240
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,760
The correct answer was between 300 and 320.

241
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,760
That was fair enough.

242
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,760
All right.

243
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,760
I said 350.

244
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:27,760
In the same report in the Journal of Science, investigators tested the performance of various

245
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,360
search engines.

246
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Here's the question they asked.

247
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,680
What fraction of the total relevant pages on the Internet could the best search engine

248
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:38,360
actually find?

249
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:44,720
Was it one quarter of them, one third of them, one half of them, or two thirds of them?

250
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,520
What was the performance of the best search engine in terms of what fraction of total

251
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,160
relevant pages it came up with?

252
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,160
One third.

253
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,160
That's right.

254
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,160
All right.

255
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,160
You guys are sharp.

256
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,160
All right.

257
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Got another shot.

258
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,160
Now another 20 points.

259
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,640
The Webby's held their second annual awards event this year honoring nearly 20 of the

260
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,840
best worldwide websites.

261
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,160
What website won the Webby Award for the weirdest site?

262
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,160
Multiple choice.

263
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:19,720
Was it Burt is Evil, the Museum of Dirt, the Crash Site, or Elvis on the Moon?

264
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,960
These are all real websites, by the way.

265
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,760
Which one won the weirdest website in the 1998 Webby Awards?

266
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,600
One of four.

267
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,640
All right.

268
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,640
We need your answer, Denise.

269
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,640
It is...

270
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760
It is Denise.

271
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Burt is Evil.

272
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,760
All right.

273
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,760
That website incidentally was set up by Lonnie Anderson.

274
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:51,880
So I just wanted you to know.

275
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,880
All right.

276
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,880
My goodness.

277
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,200
It's 140 West Coast, East Coast 60.

278
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,040
You'll get your turn on another bonus round soon.

279
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,440
John gave them the next question.

280
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,440
All right.

281
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,640
The so-called chip-enabled card or the smart card was invented by a Frenchman, Marc Lasus.

282
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,640
When did he invent the first version of the smart card?

283
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Was it 1988, 1978, 68, or 1958?

284
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,640
When did the smart card come, Mike?

285
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,640
78.

286
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,640
78 is right.

287
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,640
Well done.

288
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,640
10 points.

289
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,640
All right.

290
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,560
Time for our next celebrity video question.

291
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:25,200
This comes from Gwen Bell, founding president of the Computer Museum.

292
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,680
Here is Gwen's question.

293
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:33,440
Vice President Al Gore recently announced the Internet2 project.

294
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:40,800
$500 million has been pledged for development of this new Internet system by three major

295
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,960
companies involved in telecommunications.

296
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,160
Can you name two of the three companies?

297
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,480
All right.

298
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Marc?

299
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,680
AT&T and MCI.

300
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:53,680
That is not correct.

301
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,680
You were so confident.

302
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:00,040
Cisco, Northern Telecom, and Quest Communications are the three companies.

303
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,040
All right.

304
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Go ahead, John.

305
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,040
Next question.

306
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,040
All right.

307
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,840
IBM's chess-playing computer, Deep Blue, was a very fast computer, but IBM's new $85 million

308
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,760
computer called Option White will be even faster.

309
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,760
How much faster?

310
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,080
10 times, 100 times, 1,000 times, or 1 million times?

311
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Robert thinks he knows the answer.

312
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,080
100 times.

313
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,080
That is not correct.

314
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,080
You completed the question.

315
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,080
So the answer was 1,000.

316
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,080
We'll move on to the next question, John.

317
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,240
All righty.

318
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Researchers at IBM's Zurich Laboratory recently built the world's smallest version of a familiar

319
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,680
computational gadget.

320
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:41,200
Was it a tiny pocket calculator, a miniature PC, the world's smallest slide rule, or a

321
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,200
tiny abacus?

322
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,200
All right.

323
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Marc?

324
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,200
A tiny abacus.

325
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,200
You're right.

326
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,200
This guy reads everything.

327
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,200
All right, John.

328
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,200
Next question.

329
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,200
All right.

330
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,560
The Pentium chip has become the standard Intel microprocessor for personal computers.

331
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:59,960
Some of you may have even inserted a Pentium into a CPU slot.

332
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:04,300
When you did that, did you notice how many pins there are on a Pentium chip?

333
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:05,440
You can answer in range.

334
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:11,200
Are there between 50 and 100, between 100 and 200, between 200 and 300, or more than

335
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,200
300?

336
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,200
How many pins on a chip, Mike?

337
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,200
100 to 200.

338
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,200
Sorry?

339
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,200
100 to 200.

340
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,200
That is not correct, I'm afraid.

341
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,200
There are 296 pins on the chip.

342
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,200
296.

343
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,200
All right.

344
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,200
We're out of time for round three.

345
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,200
We're going to wrap it up and continue in just a second with round four.

346
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,200
The score, West Coast 150, East Coast 70.

347
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,200
All right.

348
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:45,200
So this is it.

349
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,200
We are up to round four, the final round in Computer Bowl X.

350
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,200
The score right now, West Coast 50, East Coast 70.

351
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,200
I guess if you...

352
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,200
150.

353
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,200
150.

354
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,200
I'm sorry.

355
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,200
East Coast...

356
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,200
Oh, yeah.

357
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,200
Move on.

358
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,200
West Coast 150.

359
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Sorry.

360
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,200
West Coast 150, East Coast 70.

361
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,200
That means if you guys, I guess, get all three points right in your bonus round question,

362
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,200
you'd be ahead by 10 points.

363
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,200
So there is hope.

364
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,200
John, why don't we get going with the first question here?

365
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,200
All right.

366
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,200
Let's fire it up.

367
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Many early programmers cut their teeth on a programming language called GW Basic.

368
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,200
What do the letters GW stand for?

369
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Mike?

370
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,200
G-Wiz.

371
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,200
G-Wiz is right.

372
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,200
You're right.

373
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,200
10 points over here.

374
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,200
Throw there, Hunt.

375
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,200
John?

376
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,200
All right.

377
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,200
The publishers of the Rough Travel USA Guide first put their entire contents of the book

378
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,200
on the website in 1995.

379
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,200
What effect did this have on the sales of the paper version of the book?

380
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:39,200
Did sales drop by 25 percent, stay the same, go up 25 percent, or triple?

381
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,200
What happened when they put it on the website?

382
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Set.

383
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Triple.

384
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Right.

385
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,200
The sales tripled.

386
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,200
10 points over here.

387
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Next one, John.

388
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Decision Analyst Incorporated recently compared the productivity of the 50 most popular cities

389
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,200
in the United States based on such factors as employment rates, growth rates, use of

390
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,200
technology, et cetera.

391
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Which city placed first?

392
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,200
Was it Boston, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Paul, or San Jose?

393
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,200
All right, Michael?

394
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,200
Seattle.

395
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Wrong.

396
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,200
San Jose was the answer.

397
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,200
All right.

398
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Good try.

399
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,200
You lost on that one.

400
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,200
John, let's go to the next one.

401
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,200
It really does say here Boston placed 28th.

402
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,200
I didn't want to tell him that.

403
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Come on, guys.

404
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,200
All right.

405
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,200
Computer Retail Week recently listed CompUSA as the number one computer retailer in the

406
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,200
country for 1997.

407
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Who came in second?

408
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Bill.

409
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Best Buy.

410
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Best Buy is right.

411
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,200
All right.

412
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,200
All right.

413
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,200
Let's go to our next video question.

414
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,200
This celebrity question comes from Dave House, Chairman and CEO of Bay Networks.

415
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,200
Here is Dave's question.

416
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:54,200
The growth of the Internet is in a large part the result of a network standard called TCPIP.

417
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,200
In that phrase, IP stands for Internet Protocol.

418
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,200
What does TCP stand for?

419
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Mark?

420
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,200
Transmission Control Protocol.

421
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,200
You got it.

422
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,200
You're fast.

423
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,200
All right, John, let's go.

424
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,200
All right.

425
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
In Silicon Valley, there are several streets and roads named after people and products

426
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,200
in the computer industry.

427
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:18,200
Of the following, which is not a real street name in Silicon Valley?

428
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,200
Wazway, Resistor Avenue, VLSI Parkway, or Floppy Drive?

429
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Mike?

430
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Floppy Drive.

431
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,200
That is not correct.

432
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,200
Believe it or not, there is no Floppy Drive.

433
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200
VLSI Parkway, there is no such thing.

434
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,200
All right.

435
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Good try.

436
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,200
All right.

437
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,200
East Coast, this is it.

438
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,200
This is your final bonus round.

439
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,200
30.

440
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,200
So how many points go to each question?

441
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,200
30.

442
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Who wants to answer a question?

443
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Sudden death.

444
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,200
East Coast, East Coast, East Coast, East Coast.

445
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,200
All right.

446
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,200
The category is Geography.

447
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,200
The world's fastest computer is called the Gravity Pipeline.

448
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,200
It's being built for research in astronomy.

449
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,200
I want to know where is it being built.

450
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,200
Where is it located?

451
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Is it Tokyo, San Jose, Cambridge, Massachusetts, or Cambridge, New York?

452
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:18,200
Where is the Gravity Pipeline being built, which of those four cities?

453
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,200
It will be the fastest computer in the world.

454
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Cambridge, England.

455
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,200
That is wrong.

456
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,200
It is Tokyo.

457
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,200
I'm very sorry.

458
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Okay.

459
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,200
We got time.

460
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,200
We got time.

461
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,200
Not enough, but we have time.

462
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,200
The DigiPen Institute of Technology is a new four-year college.

463
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,200
It is the first ever to specialize in computer game programming.

464
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:49,200
Where is this new college located?

465
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,200
Is it in Redmond, Washington, San Jose, California, Cambridge, Massachusetts, or Reading, England?

466
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:05,200
The DigiPen Institute of Technology, a new four-year college specializing in computer game programming, is located where?

467
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,200
Reading, England.

468
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,200
I would have said the same thing, but it's wrong.

469
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,200
Redmond, Washington.

470
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,200
Sorry, guys.

471
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,200
That's what we meant.

472
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,200
I know.

473
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,200
It begins with the same word.

474
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,200
I think that because we're wearing these puffy shirts, we should get easier at this.

475
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,200
Here's an easy question.

476
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,200
Here's an easy question for the last one.

477
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:32,200
If you count up the number of information technology jobs in the United States, the following states rank in the top three in this order.

478
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,200
California, one.

479
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,200
New York, two.

480
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,200
Texas, third.

481
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:41,200
Which state ranks fourth in technology jobs in the country?

482
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:49,200
California, New York, Texas, and then the 30 points.

483
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,200
Don't say anything.

484
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Your time is almost up, Mike.

485
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,200
I'm going to need an answer.

486
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,200
Which state ranks fourth?

487
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,200
Illinois.

488
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,200
Right.

489
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Well done.

490
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Okay.

491
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,200
Very good.

492
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,200
That was a tough one.

493
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,200
All right.

494
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,200
Well, we did a little bit there.

495
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,200
I don't know.

496
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,200
West Coast, 180.

497
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,200
East Coast, 50.

498
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,200
It's time to start to focus, guys.

499
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,200
There you go, John.

500
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,200
Come on.

501
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:24,200
In the last year, Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, posed as a management consultant and succeeded in offering some bizarre advice to a large high-tech company.

502
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,200
Which company fell for the ruse?

503
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,200
Was it Apple?

504
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,200
All right.

505
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,200
Bill thinks he knows.

506
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,200
Logitech.

507
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,200
Logitech is right.

508
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Very hot.

509
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,200
All right.

510
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,200
Here's our final celebrity question on video.

511
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,200
It comes from one of our judges, Andy Cunningham, founder and CEO of Cunningham Communications.

512
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,200
Here is Andy's question.

513
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:48,200
Earlier this year in Boston, the first juvenile charged with computer hacking was arraigned.

514
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,200
Whose computer system did he break into?

515
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:57,200
Was it an airport control tower, the Massachusetts State Police, Boston City Hall, or the legal seafood restaurant chain?

516
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,200
Walt?

517
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Airport control tower.

518
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,200
All right.

519
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Very good.

520
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,200
Worcester Airport.

521
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,200
That's right.

522
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,200
John, go ahead.

523
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,200
All right.

524
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,200
Wired Magazine recently reported on a survey in which children were asked,

525
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,200
if you had to choose, which would you rather keep, your TV or your PC?

526
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,200
The PC got the higher percentage answer.

527
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,200
What percentage said they would rather keep the PC?

528
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,200
Was it approximately 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%?

529
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,200
Mark?

530
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,200
60%.

531
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,200
That's not correct.

532
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,200
It was 70%.

533
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Well, good try.

534
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,200
All right, John, let's get the next one.

535
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,200
All right.

536
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,200
Possibly the most famous internet hoax of last year involved the Chicago Tribune column

537
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,200
about a commencement address at MIT in a classic case of internet misinformation.

538
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,200
When the story was published on the net,

539
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,200
the remarks in the alleged commencement address were inaccurately attributed to a person.

540
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Seth?

541
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Kurt Vonnegut.

542
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,200
Right.

543
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Got it.

544
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,200
Well done.

545
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,200
All right.

546
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,200
Well, 190 to 70.

547

548
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,200
All right.

549

Intel occasionally gives out an award to an employee called the Muzzle Award.

550
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,200
For what activity is the Muzzle Award given?

551
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Walt?

552
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,200
Leaking to the press.

553
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,200
Well, what do you say, judges?

554
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,200
Yeah.

555
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,200
I'm kind of on his side on that one.

556
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,200
That's not quite specific.

557
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,200
I'd say, yeah.

558
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,200
What kind of leaking?

559
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,200
I give it to him.

560
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,200
What is the answer?

561
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,200
Yeah, I give it to him.

562
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,200
All right.

563
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Well done.

564
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,200
Hey, I know.

565
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,200
What's the answer?

566
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,200
He's the press.

567
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Of course he knows.

568
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,200
I mean, you know, they've got to answer these questions in those shirts.

569
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,200
They're crying out loud.

570
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,200
That's a handy guy.

571
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Give him a break, will you?

572
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,200
Close.

573
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,200
Oh, thanks.

574
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,200
I got several.

575
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,200
I'm going to go back to that.

576
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,200
All right.

577
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,200
We don't see too many slide rules anymore in the age of calculators and computers, but

578
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,200
many companies used to make and sell the trusty old engineer's best friend.

579
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,200
Of the following companies, which one did not manufacture slide rules?

580
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,200
Post, K&E, Castile-Faber, or Black & Decker?

581
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,200
Robert?

582
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,200
Castile-Faber.

583
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,200
That is not right.

584
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,200
That is not right.

585
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,200
Black & Decker.

586
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,200
Castile-Faber did make slide rules.

587
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Good try, though.

588
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,200
All right, John, let's go.

589
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,200
All right.

590
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,200
Last year CompuServe was acquired by AOL, before that acquisition, who owned CompuServe?

591
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,200
Michael.

592
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,200
H&R Block.

593
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,200
That was an easy one.

594
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,200
All right, Tony, let's go over here.

595
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,200
Objection.

596
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,200
It was partially public before the acquisition by AOL.

597
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
They only owned 80%.

598
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,200
Hey, maybe we're even then.

599
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,200
I'll take 80%.

600
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,200
80% is good.

601
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,200
We'll take your point under consideration and move on.

602
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,200
He's a tough one, isn't he?

603
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,200
All right.

604
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,200
A well-known science fiction novel by Douglas Adams, a computer provided the answer to the

605
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
question of life, the universe, and everything.

606
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,200
What was the name?

607
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Mark already knows.

608
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,200
Deep Thought.

609
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,200
Well done.

610
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,200
From?

611
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,200
From?

612
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,200
That's the right answer, but...

613
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,200
From what?

614
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Oh, life, the universe, and everything.

615
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,200
Okay, Hitchhiker's Guide to Reality.

616
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,200
Yeah, here's a hint.

617
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,200
That's all right.

618
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,200
You got your 10 points.

620
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,200
I'm wrong.

621

All right, go ahead.

622
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,200
All right.

623
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,200
William Gibson has written a fascinating book that delves into the alternative universe

624
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,200
lives of such great people.

625
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:58,200
He's a computer pioneer.

626
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,200
He's Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace.

627
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,200
What was the name of the book?

628
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,200
Denise?

629
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,200
Difference Engine.

630
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,200
Absolutely right.

631
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Difference Engine.

You guys are on again.

All right.

634
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,200
Well known industry analyst, well known industry analyst and observer Esther Dyson recently

635
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,200
came out with a book about the new high-tech world we live in.

636
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,200
What is the complete?

637
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,200

638
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,200

639
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,200
Complete title.

640
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,200
We didn't really get to finish the question.

641
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,200
And I think judges, do you agree we should finish the question?

642
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,200
I think you need to finish the question.

643
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,200
Yeah, I'm sorry. We didn't finish the question.

644
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,200
So, John, go ahead. One of you guys get ready.

645
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,200
All right. What is the complete title of Esther's new book?

646
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,200
All right, please, now, Scott.

647
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,200
Release 2.0, Design for the Computer Age.

648
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,200
I don't think that's good enough.

649
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,200
Not if we penalize those guys.

650
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Design for Living in the Digital Age.

651
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,200
We asked for the accurate complete title.

652
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,200
Is that the subtitle?

653
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,200
It is the full title of the book.

654
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,200
Just checking.

655
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,200
John?

656
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,200
He's just checking.

657
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,200
It's kind of nitpicking at this point, Seth.

658
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,200
Go ahead, John.

659
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,200
It's only 2.20 to 70.

660
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,200
All right. Two years ago, IDC did a study of the software business, measuring in dollars,

661
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,200
the amount sold in three different software categories, package software,

662
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,200
application development tools, and system software.

663
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,200
Which category was the leader in dollars sales volume?

664
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,200
All right. I saw Scott go.

665
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,200
Package software.

666
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,200
Package software, of course. That's right.

667
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,200
Well, I hate to say it, guys.

668
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,200
Time is up.

669
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,200
The final score, 230-70.

670
